Answer 1

The error is pretty obvious.

What you have here is not an SQL query, but a set of multiple queries.
Whereas mysqli_query is intended to run only one query.

Therefore you should make two calls,

$this->connectionTargetDB->query("SET @csum := 0");
return $this->connectionTargetDB->query($toBoExecuted);

Figured the answer out myself. The problem was as I said in SET @csum := 0; I dont know why but it works when I do a CROSS JOIN (SELECT @csum:=1) c after the last FROM in the statement.
